COBRA Benefit. On a Qualified Termination, if an Eligible Employee makes a valid election under COBRA to continue his or her health coverage, the Company will pay the cost of such continuation coverage for the Eligible Employee and any eligible dependents that were covered under the Company’s health care plans immediately prior to the date of his or her eligible termination until the earliest of (a) the end of the applicable period set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement, (b) the date upon which the Eligible Employee and/or the Eligible Employee’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans or (c) the date upon which the Eligible Employee ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA (the “COBRA Coverage”). However, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to the Eligible Employee a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the Eligible Employee would be required to pay to continue his or her group health coverage in effect on the date of his or her Qualified Termination (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage) (each, a “COBRA Replacement Payment”), which COBRA Replacement Payments will be made regardless of whether the Eligible Employee elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the month following the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which the Eligible Employee obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount totaling the number of payments equal to the applicable number of months in the COBRA Coverage period set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the COBRA Replacement Payments may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Policy or the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement, if at any time the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA Coverage or the COBRA Replacement Payments without violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Eligible Employee will not re...
COBRA Benefit. Provided Employee (on Employee’s own behalf and/or, if applicable, on behalf of Employee’s eligible dependents) timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (”COBRA”), the Company shall pay on Employee’s behalf the monthly COBRA premium associated with such continuation coverage for the period beginning on the first day of the month following the Release Effective Date and ending on the earliest of: (i) the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Release Effective Date; (ii) the date Employee is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which Employee receives substantially similar coverage from another employer or other source (the applicable period, the “COBRA Period” and each such payment, a “COBRA Payment”). The Company will pay each COBRA Payment, if any, directly to the COBRA administrator; provided that Employee first delivers the applicable COBRA invoice to the Company in the manner outlined in Section 13.13; provided, further, that no COBRA Payment will be paid prior to the Release Effective Date. All COBRA Payments made by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.4.2.3 shall be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “COBRA Benefit”. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee shall be responsible for the full cost of the monthly COBRA premium associated with any such continuation coverage that becomes due, if any, before or after the COBRA Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if making the payments outlined under this Section 3.4.2.3 would cause a violation of the nondiscrimination rules applicable to non-grandfathered plans under the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) or result in the imposition of penalties under the ACA and the related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder), the Parties agree to reform this Section 3.4.2.3 in a manner as is necessary to comply with the ACA.
COBRA Benefit. If Executive is entitled to receive benefits pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b), and if Executive elects health care continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), as provided by the Company’s group health plan, then, in each of the first twelve (12) consecutive months following termination of employment that Executive has not become employed by another company which offers health insurance generally comparable with that of the Company at the time of Executive’s termination, the Company shall pay in monthly payments at the beginning of each such month, an amount equal to the monthly amount paid by the Company immediately before termination of employment for Executive’s health coverage.
COBRA Benefit.

COBRA Benefit. If Executive participates in the Company’s group health insurance plans (i.e., major medical, dental and vision) on the date of Executive’s termination and timely elects continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (together with any state law of similar effect, “COBRA”), the Company will pay the COBRA premiums to continue such coverage (including for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents who have elected and remain enrolled in such COBRA coverage) for a period (the “COBRA Payment Period”) beginning on the first day following the day that Executive’s active employee health coverage ends as the result of Executive’s termination, and ending on the earliest to occur of (i) twelve (12) months, (ii) the expiration of Executive’s eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA and (iii) the first month for which Executive is eligible for health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment. Alternatively, the Company may elect to pay Executive a taxable cash payment in lieu of the continued coverage, equal to the amount that the Company would have otherwise paid for the COBRA premiums (based on the premium for the first month of coverage), which payment will be made regardless of whether Executive or Executive’s eligible dependents elect COBRA continuation coverage and will be paid in monthly installments for the COBRA Payment Period, except that payments shall commence (with any make-up payments) in the Company’s first regular payroll following the Release Deadline. Continued health coverage or payment of a taxable cash amount pursuant to the foregoing is referred to as the “COBRA Benefit”.

If the Executive participates in the Company’s group health insurance plans (major medical, dental and vision) on the date of the Executive’s Qualifying Termination and timely elects continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (together with any state law of similar effect, “COBRA”), the Company will pay the COBRA premiums to continue such coverage (including for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents who have elected and remain enrolled in such COBRA coverage) for the COBRA Payment Period. For purposes of the foregoing, “COBRA Payment Period” shall mean the period beginning on the first day following the day that the Executive’s active employee health coverage ends as the result of Executive’s Separation, and ending on the earliest to occur of (i) twelve (12) months (the “COBRA Multiple”), (ii) the expiration of the Executive’s eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA, and (iii) the first month for which the Executive is eligible for health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment.
